We will get to see Lloyd’s OP magic capabilities when the ‘I Was Reincarnated as the 7th Prince so I Can Take My Time Perfecting My Magical Ability’ anime debuts. A specific release date hasn’t been confirmed yet, but you can expect it to premiere in 2023.

The video opens by showing the kingdom of Saloom. The kingdom rejoices the birth of their seventh prince, who in turn shoots a flame blast from his cradle. This is Lloyd, the OP protagonist.

Lloyd is a sucker for everything magic and by the time he is a toddler, he is the strongest mage people have encountered. Of course, he keeps his powers a secret so that he doesn’t freak out others in the palace.
